What should you be careful about when doing business or when investing in Japan from a fiscal point of view?

Nowadays it is getting easier to set up companies in Japan. This webinar will focus on the fiscal aspects for your company when doing business in Japan. What is taxable and what is not?  Is the corporate tax rate high?  When do companies have to file their tax return? What should you be careful about when you invest in Japan from a fiscal point of view? These questions will be discussed during this webinar.

How does the public procurement system work in Japan? are there available opportunities for you in this market?

Similar to Europe, Japanese government organisations are obliged to purchase the goods and service they require via public tendering procedures. The public procurement market in Japan has been estimated at over €220 billion per year. Still, there are only a small number of foreign companies active and these are mostly large multinational enterprises.

During the webinar JTPP Helpdesk will give an overview of the major changes in the Japanese tax system which have been introduced since this month. In the webinar we will briefly talk about the changes in individual taxation, and primary focus on business related taxation, with specific attention to fiscal measures impacting SMEs.

Registration deadline: 24/04/2017

Webinar is targeted at EU SMEs with interest on the fiscal environment in Japan.
